The first seven pieces are my newest recordings with my band, The Visitors. The older uploads are demo quality excerpts, mostly of me playing all the parts except when noted as "live". I mainly used those while looking for musicians who may be interested in playing my music. I'm leaving those older versions up for now, so you can compare them with the current band. I hope you enjoy what you hear!
